Spring Creek--was actually a 'commune' back in the day.. lol! There was another one up near Tunk Mt too.. didn't live on it, but played with all the kids there. we all had hossies and rode like hoodlums all over the place... The kids like to go to the barter faire too, but we leave at dusk lol! That's my favorite time of year over there--crisp clear days, kinda warmish but kinda not. I do like to visit my dad too, in the summer, cuz he isn't too far from a river so we spend most of the day on it..
(he lives in the Methow Valley, not to far out of Carlton--which is were I grew up after we moved from the Tonasket area....
I am an EW girl stuck on the west side!
Jen: ya' I am familiar with barter faire...fun during the day...don't want to be there at night...scary. I grew up in Twisp, graduated from Liberty Bell...so I am 100% familiar with the Methow. How funny...it is such a small world. My 70 yo mother wanted to go up to barter Faire, she had never been. We took her last year....she had fun. She was funny to watch though and how she interacted with some of the people and some of the "products" that were being sold. I had to kinda chase her away from a few items that were totaly inappropriate and for that matter - not legal. She didn't know what it was. LOL. Even though they say they keep out illegal stuff, it still gets in.
Alright, back outside to work on The Hen Pen and get all the finishing touches on it.
no way! I graduated from LB too!! in 88.
haha--very small world.. bet we know some of the same people! my friend and I took our oldest kids up to the barter faire after dark one year... they HAD to go see the drum circle.. lol! they were pretty amused/shocked I think. lol! funny they try to market the thing as a 'family faire' now too.. so not! but it's still fun, and its something i did every year as a kid with my family--for the REAL reason, to trade harvest stuff. We used to ride our horses in, when it was close to our home, before they bought that property they are on now.
**on a poultry note**
had a call duck hatch this AM.. looks a little iffy, it looks like her navel didn't close? is this something that will go down/absorb on it's own?? She was pipping for two days, no zipping or anything, so I zipped for her--not breaking that membrane, but keeping her moist... anyway, I wonder if I did more harm than good. I have been so frustrated with trying to hatch duck eggs in an incubator... they always die. I think I can't control the humidity well enough. Luckily, one of my hens(duck) decided to go broody and is on a clutch of 7 of her own durn eggs.
you go girl!
